Butler in her 1997 reading of Antigone takes her to the limits of the known, of subjectivity, of subjective destitition because she cannot be known through the symbolic. As does \u017di\u017eek too. The difference is that, \u017di\u017eek emphasizes the nature of the surge of subject, the emergence of a subject in the space of the rupture of the situation, of the status quo.\u00a0 This is the monstrous human, the neighbour as Thing, emerges in the moment of the emergence of the subject.\u00a0 This is why \u017di\u017eek rejects any notion of Levinasian approach to the Other as a reaching out, of a ‘getting to know you’ or any such thing.\u00a0 That is a recipe for treating the Other not as Thing, but as de-caffinated.\u00a0 We can only approach the Other in the real.\u00a0 It’s tragic as Eagleton states, the destitution of the subject is the only way to the universal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
